At 200 PM PDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Paine

On the forecast track, Paine will approach the northwest coast of
the Baja California peninsula tonight and early Wednesday.

higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast, and Paine is
expected to become a remnant low tonight, and dissipate by early
Thursday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Paine is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 1 to 3
inches across the northern Baja California peninsula with isolated
storm total amounts of 6 inches through Wednesday.

Moisture in advance of Paine will help spread rain into portions of
southern California, Arizona, southern Utah, New Mexico, and
southwestern Colorado with localized maximum amounts of 1 to 2
inches possible, mainly in areas of favored higher terrain.

WIND:  Wind gusts to near tropical storm force are possible along
portions of the northwest coast of the Baja California peninsula
